Redis Streams
Redis Streams is a more advanced data structure for managing event streams with more features compared to Pub/Sub. It allows you to append messages to a stream and read messages from it in a more structured and persistent way.
Differences:
- Message Streams: Redis Streams work with message streams, which are append-only logs of messages.
- Message Persistence: Messages are stored in the stream and can be read by consumers even if they were not connected when the message was sent.
- Consumer Groups: Redis Streams supports consumer groups, allowing multiple consumers to work together to process messages from a stream while ensuring that each message is processed only once.
Difference between Redis Pub/sub vs Redis streams
Redis Pub/Sub (Publish/Subscribe) and Redis Streams are both features of the Redis database that enable real-time messaging and event-driven communication, but they have distinct use cases and characteristics.
